Hi Mauricio,
I guess you're using Interbase (isql).
The system table your looking for is named RDB$RELATION_FIELDS
Your select should be something like:
select RDB$FIELD_NAME from RDB$RELATION_FIELDS where
RDB$RELATION_NAME = 'your_table_name'
I'm building a new system, and I don't have an installation of Interbase
I can check this on. I've got it from the Interbase documentation (the
LANGREF.pdf file).
